Dr. Marie Webb Publishes with UC Open Access Funding in the Journal of Second Language Writing (JSLW)
Dr. Marie Webb received UC Open Access Funding to co-publish her research study through the University of California Open Access agreement with Elsevier. Her duoethnographic article, written in a conversational narrative with her co-author Dr. YoungWha Lee, adds to the growing body of scholarly literature utilizing narrative research. The article is titled “Dialogic entanglements in researcher identity: A duoethnographic exploration of critical (self)reflexive moments of two transnational L2 writing scholars.”
Dr. Webb designed the research methodology and mentored her co-author on the process of conducting a duoethnography on their shared dissertation data about L2 writing teacher identity. The two authors met online in 2020 at the American Association of Applied Linguistics Conference, during their presentations in the Teacher Education and Identity (TED) strand. They have been friends and research colleagues ever since! Their JSLW publication features a nuanced conversation between both authors about the impacts of (self) reflexivity on their scholarship, and it contributes to the emerging body of knowledge on second language (L2) writing teacher expertise. Critical (self)reflexive moments are showcased in the narrative to demonstrate how various types of (self)reflexivity impact a researcher’s role in decolonizing methodology and promoting critical perspectives within Second Language Writing (SLW) scholarship.
